Biodiversity

Biodiversity is considered one of the key challenges of the 21st century together with climate change. As an example, 90% of the large ocean predators have been removed by fishing in the last 50 years, and a scientific study has predicted that current fisheries will have collapsed by 2048. The removal of keystone predators alters the structure of the entire ecosystem. Philanthropists can play an important role in using funding to have a collaborative approach with key individuals and institutions working to improve biodiversity.
